I know it's been posted before but couldn't resist repeating after walking past it yesterday. I'm sure she's a lovely girl really, who loves puppies and kittens and does charity work in home town of Birkenhead.

That is it, Retirement! I'll be drinking these vintage beers later. Orval from 1999, BBE 26/06/2004. De Dolle Speciaal Brouwsel 20, brewed in 2000.

Beer stash No. 4 is a pint bottle of Thomas Hardy's Ale 1968. "Do not drink before July 1969" so I didn't. 52 years old, poured flat but still excellent. Powerful barley wine with woody notes. This vintage was aged in wooden barrels. A credit to the brewer.

Can't beat a proper pint of Bitter. A return to the Lower Angel for Warrington Wire Bitter. £3.20 is a very reasonable price.

So about half an hour ago the deed was done. I've handed in my notice and will take early retirement in March 2021. Roll on the vaccine and the ability to travel freely. I will celebrate tonight with this beauty; Stille Nacht Reserva 2000 plus a few other choice beers.

A total lack of concern for ordinary people shown by the leadership candidates. They are trying to appeal to in particular the most smug and selfish section of the electorate, the Tory members. It also plays well with their Daily Mail reading supporters.

What better way to spend my Birthday than drinking a bottle of Cuvée Prestige De Garre Barrel Aged. A much appreciated gift from Carl at De Garre last December.

Etiquette demands that I drink local beers when in the south of France. Some beers are too good to resist though.

Beer stash No. 37. Royal Thomas Hardy's Ale 1983. This have always been my favourite vintage of this beer and it certainly lives up to the hype that surrounds Hardy's Ale. Some condition remains, sweet, slightly woody, warming. The epitome of a barley wine. 10/10.

First beer of the trip in Au Soleil, Brussels. Unfortunately, it isn't Bons Vœux but Saison Dupont Biologique. Very good though.

So you said on BBC that it would have been unfair to relegate Bournemouth on goal difference by PPG without them getting the chance to finish the season. That is exactly what the

In the Rake, Borough Market yesterday. A trader came in and perusing the beer menu, expressed satisfaction at Kernel Imperial Stout 9.9%. He ordered a pint, downed it in four mouthfuls and left. Impressive.

Already enjoyed a Père Noël. Now a Straffe Hendrik Xmas Blend 2023. Very alcoholic with complex flavours from the barrel ageing. Will do nicely.

It is play-off final day, Warrington Town v Bamber Bridge for a place in the National League North. My son plays for Warrington so the nerves are increasing. Fine Full English Breakfast in Market complex, first pint is Hop Emporium house beer from Beartown.

Additionally, Bluetooth didn't kick in for many fans which meant that tickets didn't validate. That caused further delays. I was lucky, gaining entry 10 mins before kick off. £200 seemed to be the going rate to bribe stewards and gain entry. 2/3

Royal Thomas Hardy's Ale 1983. IMO one of the finest vintages of a world classic. Vintage Port, figs, toffee and only slightly oxidised. Fantastic. The bottle looks like it has just come off the production line. The label is in perfect condition & the foil gleams. I have more.
